    I am basing it on what I would want if I am Orlando. (while looking at their roster)
    Being a local kid I am sure they are well aware of the "potential' Nassir has.
    This team is starting over...again and Little would fit nicely with Cole Anthony, Issac, and Fultz.

    I'd rather hold onto Nas, but I think the rotation if we got Smart and Ojeleye for Nas, Ant, and Hood would be a contender.

    Lillard/Smart
    CJ/Trent
    Jones/Melo
    Covington/Ojeleye
    Nurkic/Kanter

    That 10 man rotation would be much improved and balanced. Obviously we'd still have some of the same limits (don't play Kanter and Melo) but we'd be pretty flexible for next season (keep one of Jones or Trent depending on fit/price probably and kick the tires on Z Collins).

    it worked with Roco and Carmelo, just keep posting till it comes true. Probably old post about wanting Pippen to “if you dream it will happen” well in our case usually after their prime

    ...and how Stotts will incorporate him into the weave.

    Stotts wouldn't know what to do with Aaron Gordon if he got him. I'd be excited to get him but it wouldn't change a damn thing this season.

    Would Carmelo or Enes or Lillard play better elsewhere? Why wouldn’t Stotts know what to do with him vs other players?

    He knew how to utilize Plumlee. Not saying they are the same type of player, but I bet Stotts would love to have a PF who can
    dribble in the open court while chewing gum.

    Yes. But who in your mind has more potential? Plus they have Cole A and Fultz. I don't doubt they would take him as well, but
    if you were Orlando wouldn't you rather have Little over Simons or Trent? They could use a young SF

    well, in Olshey's mind I would not be surprised, at all, if he values Simons more, so that right there could be a hangup

    I guess I was more wondering about you being "convinced" it was about Nas

    They wanted Blevins. That was a deal-breaker.

    If they can't play ISO, Stotts doesn't know how to use them. Gordon will be relegated to the corners.

    He used to the run the ball through Nurk more too but these days he's less inclined to trying anything new has been for quite sometime if it requires taking the ball out of our guards' hands.

    Boston is in win now mode. I don’t think they’d want to take on Simon, Little and Hood is garbage. I don’t think Danny Ainge would like that trade.

    Can we give up our whole bench for player like Pippen? Because that’s basically what we did.

    Was it Ed Gray or Kelvin Cato that sweetened the deal for Houston?
